We present an approach of computing the intersection curve C\mathcal{C} of two rational parametric surface §1(u,s)§_1(u,s) and §2(v,t)§_2(v,t), one being projectable and hence can easily be implicitized. Plugging the parametric surface to the implicit surface yields a plane algebraic curve G(v,t)=0G(v,t)=0. By analyzing the topology …
